Pascal Papathemelis: The Mobile Product Owner—Why Great POs Move Around and Talk to People Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Visionary Communicator Pascal describes great Product Owners as excellent communicators who possess the courage to confront stakeholders when necessary. These exceptional POs thrive as decision makers and understand the importance of being mobile - they have "legs and walk around to meet stakeholders" rather than remaining isolated in their offices. Great Product Owners maintain a clear vision and excel at breaking down products into granular items that teams can easily pull from the backlog. They demonstrate superior backlog management skills and understand how to focus on creating systems that collect valuable feedback. Pascal emphasizes that it's critical to help Product Owners develop these capabilities so they can flourish in their role as the primary decision makers for their products. The Bad Product Owner: The Dominating Manager Pascal encountered a challenging Product Owner who exhibited several destructive anti-patterns. This PO dominated meetings by talking most of the time while the team remained silent, creating an environment where team members felt unsafe to contribute. The situation was complicated by the fact that this Product Owner also served as the line manager for the team members, blurring the boundaries between product decisions and personnel management. This dual role created a power dynamic that inhibited healthy team collaboration. The PO went so far as to stop retrospectives, even when Pascal explained how these sessions could benefit the entire team. Pascal identifies a critical anti-pattern: when a Product Owner has no channel of communication or coaching support, and they resist help, it becomes impossible to improve the situation. Self-reflection Question: What steps could you take to help Product Owners in your organization develop better communication skills and create safer environments for team collaboration?

Bernard Agrest: Millions of Users, Multiple Stakeholders—The Art of Product Owner Navigation Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Stakeholder Navigator Bernard describes an exceptional Product Owner who managed a product impacting millions of people while navigating constantly evolving requirements from multiple stakeholders. This Product Owner excelled at understanding each stakeholder's unique needs and communicating effectively with all of them. What made this person truly great was their ability to come to the development team with a clear understanding of both the business case and user needs, having done the hard work of stakeholder management upfront. This Product Owner understood that their role was to be the bridge between complex stakeholder requirements and clear team direction. The Bad Product Owner: The Collaborative Hoarder Bernard identifies a dangerous anti-pattern: the Product Owner who adds everything to the backlog under the guise of being "collaborative." While this behavior appears inclusive and team-friendly on the surface, it actually demonstrates that the Product Owner isn't following through on delivering real value. These Product Owners become almost exclusively focused on authority rather than outcomes, making them particularly difficult to coach since they resist guidance. Bernard recommends using Cost of Delay as both a prioritization technique and a tool to help Product Owners understand why certain items shouldn't be added to the backlog at all. Self-reflection Question: Is your Product Owner truly collaborating by providing clear direction, or are they avoiding difficult prioritization decisions by adding everything to the backlog? In this segment we refer to the Coach Your Product Owner e-course that we created for everyone who needs to help their Product Owners succeed! [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

In the final episode of this series on Oracle GoldenGate 23ai, Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham welcome back Nick Wagner, Senior Director of Product Management for GoldenGate, to discuss how parameters shape data replication. This episode covers parameter files, data selection, filtering, and transformation, providing essential insights for managing GoldenGate deployments.   Oracle GoldenGate 23ai: Fundamentals: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/oracle-goldengate-23ai-fundamentals/145884/237273 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode. --------------------------------------------------------------- Podcast Transcript: 00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services.  Nikita: Hi everyone! This is the last episode in our Oracle GoldenGate 23ai series. Previously, we looked at how you can manage Extract Trails and Files. If you missed that episode, do go back and give it a listen.  00:50 Lois: Today, Nick Wagner, Senior Director of Product Management for GoldenGate, is back on the podcast to tell us about parameters, data selection, filtering, and transformation. These are key components of GoldenGate because they allow us to control what data is replicated, how it's transformed, and where it's sent. Hi Nick! Thanks for joining us again. So, what are the different types of parameter files? Nick: We have a GLOBALS parameter file and your runtime parameter files. The global one is going to affect all processes within a deployment. It's going to be things like where's your checkpoint table located in name, things like the heartbeat table. You want to have a single one of these across your entire deployment, so it makes sense to keep it within a single file. We also have runtime parameter files. This are going to be associated with a specific extract or replicat process. These files are located in your OGG_ETC_HOME/conf/ogg. The GLOBALS file is just simply named GLOBALS and all capitals, and your parameter file names for the processes themselves are named with the process.prm. So if my extract process is EXT demo, my parameter file name will be extdemo.prm. When you make changes to parameter files, they don't take effect until the process is restarted. So in the case of a GLOBALS parameter file, you need to restart the administration service. And in a runtime parameter file, you need to restart that specific process before any changes will take effect. We also have what we call a managed process setting profile. And this allows you to set up auto restart profiles for each process. And the GoldenGate Gate classic architecture, this was contained within the GLOBALS parameter file and handled by the manager. And microservices is a little bit different, it's handled by the service manager itself. But now we actually set up profiles. 02:41 Nikita: Ok, so what can you tell us about the extract parameter file specifically?  Nick: There's a couple things within the extract parameter file is common use. First, we want to tell what the group name is. So in this case, it would be our extract name. We need to put in information on where the extract process is going to be writing the data it captures to and that would be our trail files, and extract process can write to one or more trail files. We also want to list out the list of tables and schemas that we're going to be capturing, as well as any kind of DDL changes. If we're doing an initial load, we want to set up the SQL predicate to determine which tables are being captured and put a WHERE clause on those to speed up performance. We can also do filtering within the extract process as well. So we write just the information that we need to the trail file. 03:27 Nikita: And what are the common parameters within an extract process? Nick: There are a couple of common parameters within your extract process. We have table to list out the list of tables that GoldenGate is going to be capturing from. These can be wildcarded. So I can simply do table.star and GoldenGate will capture all the tables in that database. I can also do schema.star and it will capture all the tables within a schema. We have our EXTTRAIL command, which tells GoldenGate which trail to write to. If I want to filter out certain rows and columns, I can use the filter cols and cols except parameter. GoldenGate can also capture sequence changes. So we would use the sequence parameter. And then we can also set some high-level database options for GoldenGate that affect all the tables and that's configured using the tranlog options parameter.  04:14 Lois: Nick, can you talk a bit about the different types of tranlogoptions settings? How can they be used to control what the extract process does? Nick: So one of the first ones is ExcludeTag. So GoldenGate has the ability to exclude tagged transactions. Within the database itself, you can actually specify a transaction to be tagged using a DBMS set tag option. GoldenGate replicat also sets its transactions with a tag so that the GoldenGate process knows which transactions were done by the replicat and it can exclude them automatically. You can do exclude tag with a plus. That simply means to exclude any transaction that's been tagged with any value. You can also exclude specific tags.  Another good option for TranLogOptions is enable procedural replication. This allows GoldenGate to actually capture and replicate database procedure calls, and this would be things like DBMS AQ, NQ operations, or DQ operations. So if you're using Oracle advanced queuing and you need GoldenGate to replicate those changes, it can.  Another valuable tranlogoption setting is enable auto capture. Within the Oracle Database, you can actually set ALTER TABLE command that says ALTER TABLE, enable logical replication. Or when you create a table, you can actually do CREATE TABLE statement and at the end use the enable logical replication option for that CREATE TABLE statement. And this tells GoldenGate to automatically capture that table. One of the nice features about this is that I don't need to specify that table and my parameter file, and it'll automatically enable supplemental logging on that table for me using scheduling columns. So it makes it very easy to set up replication between Oracle databases.  06:01 Nikita: Can you tell us about replicat parameters, Nick? Nick: Within a replicat, we'll have the group name, some common other parameters that we'll use is a mapping parameter that allows us to map the source to target table relationships. We can do transformation within the replicat, as well as error handling and controlling group operations to improve performance. Some common replicat parameters include the replicat parameter itself, which tells us what the name of that replicat is. We have our map statement, which allows us to map a source object to a target object. We have things like rep error that control how to handle errors. Insert all records allows us to change and convert, update, and delete operations into inserts. We can do things like compare calls, which helps with active-active replication in determining which columns are used in the GoldenGate WHERE clause. We also have the ability to use macros and column mapping to do additional transformation and make the parameter file look elegant. 07:07 AI is being used in nearly every industry…healthcare, manufacturing, retail, customer service, transportation, agriculture, you name it! And it's only going to get more prevalent and transformational in the future. It's no wonder that AI skills are the most sought-after by employers.

Head on over to mylearn.oracle.com to find out more. 07:47 Nikita: Welcome back! Let's move on to some of the most interesting topics within GoldenGate… data mapping, selection, and transformation. As I understand, users can do pretty cool things with GoldenGate. So Nick, let's start with how GoldenGate can manipulate, change, and map data between two different databases. Nick: The map statement within a Replicat parameter allows you to provide specifications on how you're going to map source and target objects. You can also use a map and an extract, but it's pretty rare. And that would be used if you needed to write the object name. Inside the trail files is a different name than the actual object name that you're capturing from. GoldenGate can also do different data selection, mapping, and manipulation, and this is all controlled within the Extract and Replicat parameter files. In the classic architecture of GoldenGate, you could do a rudimentary level of transformation and filtering within the extract pump. Now, the distribution service is only allowing you to do filtering. Any transformation that you had within the pump would need to be moved to the Extract or the Replicat process.  The other thing that you can do within GoldenGate is select and filter data based on different levels and conditions. So within your parameter clause, you have your Table and Map statement. That's the core of everything. You have your filtering. You have COLS and COLSEXCEPT, which allow you to determine which columns you're going to include or exclude from replication. The Table and Map statement works at the table level. The FILTER works at the row level. And COLS and COLSEXCEPTs works at the column level. We also have the ability to filter by operation type too. So GoldenGate has some very easy parameters called GitInserts, GitUpdates, GitDeletes, and conversely ignore updates, ignore deletes, ignore inserts. And that will affect the operation type. 09:40 Lois: Nick, are there any features that GoldenGate provides to make data replication easier? Nick: The first thing is that GoldenGate is going to automatically match your source and target column names with a parameter called USEDEFAULTS. You can specify it inside of your COLMAP clause, but again, it's a default, so you don't need to worry about it. We also handle all data type and character set conversion. Because we store the metadata in the trail, we know what that source data type is like. When we go to apply the record to the target table, the Replicat process is going to look up the definition of that record and keep a repository of that in memory. So that when it knows that, hey, this value coming in from the trail file is going to be of a date data type, and then this value in the target database is going to be a character data type, it knows how to convert that date to a character, and it'll do it for you. Most of the conversion is going to be done automatically for data types. Things where we don't do automatic data type conversion is if you're using abstract data types or user-defined data types, collections arrays, and then some types of CLOB operations. For example, if you're going from a BLOB to a JSON, that's not really going to work very well. Character set conversion is also done automatically. It's not necessarily done directly by GoldenGate, but it's done by the database engine. So there is a character set value inside that source database.  And when GoldenGate goes to apply those changes into the target system, it's ensuring that that character set is visible and named so that that database can do the necessary translation. You can also do advanced filtering transformation. There's tokens that you can attach from the source environment, database, or records into a record itself on the trail file. And then there's also a bunch of metadata that GoldenGate can use to attach to the record itself. And then of course, you can use data transformation within your COLMAP statement. 11:28 Nikita: Before we wrap up, what types of data transformations can we perform, Nick?  Nick: So there's quite a few different data transformations. We can do constructive or destructive transformation, aesthetic, and structural. 11:39 Lois: That's it for the Oracle GoldenGate 23ai: Fundamentals series. I think we covered a lot of ground this season. Thank you, Nick, for taking us through it all.  Nikita: Yeah, thank you so much, Nick. And if you want to learn more, head over to mylearn.oracle.com and search for the Oracle GoldenGate 23ai: Fundamentals course.

Lilia Pulova: Business Case Ownership—The Product Owner's Core Duty Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: Always Present and Inspirational Lilia describes an exceptional Product Owner whose defining characteristic was consistent presence with the team. This presence went beyond just showing up - it was inspirational and made team members genuinely care about their delivery and the product they were building. The Product Owner served as the vital connection between the team and the organization's wider mission, helping everyone understand how their work contributed to the bigger picture. This constant engagement and visibility created a motivated team that took pride in their product development efforts. The Bad Product Owner: Unprepared and Responsibility-Shifting Lilia encountered a Product Owner who exemplified poor practices by consistently arriving at backlog refinement meetings without any preparation, expecting developers to provide business context instead. This approach was fundamentally wrong because developers aren't equipped to discuss business expectations or product direction - that's the Product Owner's responsibility. This individual habitually said "yes" to all tickets without consideration, shifted decision-making responsibility to the team, and relied on architects to manage the product and determine sprint priorities. Product Owners must own the business case rather than delegate it, and keep the business rationale constantly visible to the team. Self-reflection Question: How do you ensure your Product Owner maintains proper preparation and ownership of business decisions rather than shifting these responsibilities to the development team?

BONUS: Never Stop Experimenting—Building a Culture of Continuous Discovery with Stavros Stavru In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into the world of continuous experimentation with Stavros Stavru, Ph.D. in Organizational Transformations and founder of EdTech ventures AhaPlay and The Caringers. Stavros shares insights from his latest book "Never Stop Experimenting" and reveals how teams can maintain their discovery mindset while balancing the pressures of delivery. The Exploration-Exploitation Dilemma "What would we choose? What we know, and try to exploit? Or go for something new, and better than we currently have?" Stavros introduces us to one of the fundamental challenges facing modern teams: the tension between exploration and exploitation. He explains how teams often start with an exploration mindset, focused on solving real problems through discovery. However, over time, there's a natural shift from discovery to delivery, and teams forget the importance of continued exploration. The title "Never Stop Experimenting" serves as an anchor for teams to remember the value of maintaining their experimental approach even when delivery pressures mount. Born from a Decade of Practice "All the techniques that I describe in the book were born during 10 years of practice." The book isn't theoretical - it's grounded in real-world application. Stavros shares how every technique and framework in "Never Stop Experimenting" emerged from his extensive hands-on experience working with teams over a decade. This practical foundation ensures that readers get battle-tested approaches rather than untested concepts. Software Development as Incremental Experiments "Experimentation requires a creative process." Stavros addresses a common challenge: while teams understand the benefits of experimentation and want to experiment, they often face management resistance that ultimately demotivates the team. He emphasizes that viewing software development as a series of incremental experiments isn't just beneficial - it's absolutely necessary for teams to remain innovative and responsive to changing needs. The Fatware Matrix: Putting Products on a Diet "The challenge: how do you convince the business that you need to spend some time removing features?" One of the book's standout concepts is "The Fatware Matrix," which helps Product Managers recognize when their product is becoming bloated. Stavros introduces a practical tool combining the Kano framework with maintenance cost analysis to illustrate the true cost and impact of maintaining old features. This approach helped one team successfully remove features from their software, with stakeholders later commenting, "Now this is more transparent for us." The key is managing feature creep and software bloat before they become overwhelming. The NSE Ratio: Optimizing Experimentation Rhythm "It's when we try something new that we learn what works. We need to change something on a regular basis." The NSE (Never Stop Experimenting) Ratio measures how long teams wait before introducing new approaches or experimenting with their processes. Stavros explains how teams should define their NSE ratio as part of their team agreements, establishing a regular cadence for trying new things. This systematic approach ensures that learning and adaptation become embedded in the team's rhythm rather than happening sporadically. Building a Safe-to-Fail Culture "Speak of your own failures. When we show our failures as leaders, we show the team that they can run their own experiments." Creating a truly safe-to-fail environment requires leaders to model vulnerability and transparency about their own mistakes. Stavros emphasizes that leaders must give the example by sharing their failures openly, which gives permission for the rest of the organization to take risks and learn from their own experiments. This leadership modeling is crucial for establishing psychological safety around experimentation. About Stavros Stavru Stavros is a Ph.D. in Organizational Transformations and a leading voice in Agile coaching, leadership, and soft skills. Founder of EdTech ventures AhaPlay and The Caringers, he has delivered over 800 trainings and authored Never Stop Experimenting, a powerful toolkit for continuous improvement across teams and organizations.

The Great Product Owner: The Customer Value Detective Luca discovered that applying the Product Owner role in construction requires thinking like a customer and understanding that "it's the customer that defines what value is." The great Product Owner in construction acts as a customer value detective, constantly asking "which task out of these is going to move the yardstick?" They ensure that work always serves a customer—if you can't identify your customer, you should stop and find one. This mindset transforms how construction teams approach their daily huddles and project planning, viewing everything through the lens of customer value rather than just task completion. The Bad Product Owner: The Waste Accumulator The bad Product Owner in construction fails to eliminate waste from processes, allowing non-value-adding activities to persist simply because "that's how we've always done it." They struggle to have candid conversations with customers and fail to tease out real requirements. Instead of transforming language into customer reality, they ask customers directly "what they want" without understanding that customers are better at identifying what they don't want than articulating what they need. This approach leads to projects that complete tasks without delivering real value. In this segment, refer to The Last Planner Method. Self-reflection Question: Can you clearly identify the customer for every piece of work your team performs, and how do you ensure that work truly moves the project toward completion?

The Scrum community is buzzing about a new 55-page expansion to the Scrum Guide. Is this the depth practitioners have been asking for, or is it turning the lightweight framework into bloatware? In this episode, Enterprise Business Agility Coach Om Patel and Product Manager Brian Orlando critically examine the "DLC" that claims the original guide was "deliberately oversimplified." We explore new concepts like outcome vs output definitions of done, the "supporters" role, and the inclusion of complex frameworks like Cynefin.Stick around as we debate whether these additions help teams navigate complexity or create more confusion, while highlighting crucial omissions around organizational structure and practical implementation guidance. #Scrum #Agile #ProductDevelopment= = = = = = = = = = = =LINKS= = = = = = = = = = = = http://arguingagile.comYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@arguingagileSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/362QvYORmtZRKAeTAE57v3Applehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/agile-podcast/id1568557596= = = = = = = = = = = =Toronto Is My Beat (Music Sample)By Whitewolf (Source: https://ccmixter.org/files/whitewolf225/60181)CC BY 4.0 DEED (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en)

Stuart Tipples: The Ghost Product Owner vs. The Storytelling Master Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Storytelling Master Stuart describes an exceptional Product Owner who worked with an API team on what could have been a dry, unsexy product. This PO excelled by maintaining clear availability through established office hours, showing up consistently for the team, and avoiding micromanagement. The standout quality was their ability to tell compelling stories that created clarity and got the team onboard with the vision. Through storytelling, this PO helped the team communicate the value of their work, transforming a potentially mundane product into something meaningful and engaging for both the team and stakeholders. The Bad Product Owner: The Ghost with the Most Stuart encountered a problematic Product Owner working with a customer-portal team dealing with edge cases, legacy systems, and messy code. This PO earned the nickname "The Ghost with the Most" because they were never available when needed. They would miss sprint planning sessions, delay or skip backlog refinement entirely, and leave team members to fill the gap while juggling their own responsibilities. Stuart learned to address this directly by outlining how the PO's behavior affected the team and delivery, asking "Can I help you?" The PO initially reacted defensively but eventually admitted they weren't happy in the role. Self-reflection Question: How effectively does your Product Owner use storytelling to create clarity and help the team understand the value of their work? [Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
